spell check!

Can we have spell cheek facilty as my spealing is so bad, then I can use big words and appear as if I know what I'm talking about :)

No good, Steve. :(

The Yank powers that be will fill the spell checker with Z's and starve it of U's and screw everything up worse than before. :)

Well, the spellcheck can be handled by FireFox as part of the functionality.

I will look into installing a big-words generator, though, for those of you that need assistance in accumulating and compiling the requisite verbiage to adequately impress our erudite associates. Then grandiose messages with multisyllabic words could be ubiquitous.

If you spell long words the British way, you often get an extra letter (the u). Additionally, you can misspell a bit with a view to extra length, and come across as even more sophisticated. Then add a hyphon or two for fine-tuned meaning. Example:

laibour-eggstenssive inpuutt

Another neat idea is to spell the word right, but add an "(sp?)" as if you weren't sure. That's hyper-educated and humble at the same time:

Onomatopoeia (sp?)

Or surround your longest words with a bit of slang:

In a friggin' nutshell, fellas: Onomatopoeia... LOL

Here's another hint: Much of what Aristotle wrote has been lost. But who's to say YOU haven't found it:

In his thesis on onomatopoeia and gapping, Aristotle pissed off the instinctive archers of his day by stating that...
